I’m stunned that many ordinary Americans can’t see that Obama has done everything exactly the opposite of what Reagan did, and, DUH, we see the exact opposite results.
This is a Obama & Democrat PROBLEM !!!!
SO FIX IT, DONKEYS !!!!!!!
Boehner WILL BE on camera very soon with a statement.
He is showing his Castro, Chavez or Kim Jong Il envy. Oh, how he wishes he could just smash the whole Congress to the ground and get on with spending/redistributing as much money as he wants.
So he “summons” the Congressional leaders to the White House tomorrow morning. I hope they tell him they have other plans!
Did you hear that somewhere or are you just hoping?
I suspect his handlers knew he wasn’t going to come off very well—that’s why this was done late on a Friday afternoon—a traditional Friday afternoon news dump.
Wallace just said Boehner will respond on camera. I know he’s also due to be on O’Reilly with Laura Ingraham subbing, but don’t know if that interview is live.
Coehner already said he is done talking to obamma, so he needs to be a no-show along with all the other Pubs! Is Boehner finally growing a backbone?
Someone tell the AZZ-in Chief ......
.....REAGAN IS OUR GUY .......AND HE IS NO REAGAN !!!!!
AND STOP USING REAGAN’S NAME IN VAIN !!
So we will get the truth.
I was surprised that Obama did not tell the reporters that he had to leave to go and play with Sasha and Mahlia.
Coehner=Boehner
DRINK!!!
WTF?
Fascinating timing, huh?
May or may not be calculated.
Moreso, I think he might have decided to jump
quickly to the mike BEFORE Boehner had time to
gather his resources for his statement so
he could lay down the lies, spin, poor me script.
BOEHNER: There never WAS a deal
**********
BOEHNER WILL SPEAK BEFORE 7:15PM ET, ACCORDING TO CNN
CNN has a note that Boehner will hold a press briefing at 7:15. He seems to feel the wind at his back.
The democrat-media complex is in a tizzy. It’s kind of fun to listen to the CNN spin on this drama.
Since Obammy has given the economy a whammy (EPIC FAILure at growing the economy), we simply can't afford to implement new spending on new programs.
Therefore, it just makes sense to delay implementation/or reverse implementation of all new spending enacted since Obammy took office, especially Obama care, since it is unconstitutional anyway. Roll the spending back to 2007 levels.
do you have a link for Bohners presser?
I’ll tell you, I’m starting to feel better about Boehner.

FRink!!!
Keep opposing this communist POS, Republicans. I want this sorry ass to have a major meltdown and be carted away.
In the words of Peggy Noonan’s WSJ OP-ED last night about Obama in these talks ——
But a note on his efforts in the drama. It is time for the president to get out of the way.
For the longest time he wouldn’t engage, and now he’s engaged. For the longest time he didn’t care about spending, and now he cares about spending. Good, both in terms of policy and for him. But his decision to become engaged has become a decision to dominate, to have his face in front of the television with his news conferences, pronouncements, and what his communications people are probably calling his “ownership” of any final agreement. He’s trying to come across as the boss, the indispensable man, the leader. And, of course, the reasonable one.
That’s all very nice and part of Political Positioning 101, but at this point it’s not helping. He’s becoming box-office poison. His numbers are falling. The RealClearPolitics composite job approval poll rating has him down six points since June 2, when the debt ceiling crisis began. That fall, from 52% to 46%, exactly tracks his heightened media presence and his increased attempts to be seen as dominant. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, said that if he ran for president today he’d lose, that his job numbers are “worse than they appear,” and that he continues to have real trouble with undecided voters.
And if you’ve watched him lately, you know why. When he speaks on the debt negotiations, he is not only extremely boring, with airy and bromidic language—really they are soul-killing, his talking points—but he never seems to be playing it straight. He always seems to be finagling, playing the angles in some higher game that only he gets. In 2½ years, he has reached the point that took George W. Bush five years to reach: People aren’t listening anymore.
The other day he announced the Gang of Six agreement with words that enveloped the plan in his poisonous embrace: “I wanted to give folks a quick update on the progress that we’re making.” We’re. He has “continued to urge both Democrats and Republicans to come together.” What would those little devils do without Papa? “The good news is that today a group of senators . . . put forward a proposal that is broadly consistent with the approach that I’ve urged.” I’ve urged. Me, me, me.
That approach includes “shared sacrifice, and everybody is giving up something.” He was like a mother coming in and cheerily announcing: “Dinner’s served! Less for everybody!”
We’re trying to begin a comeback, not a famine. We’re trying to take actions that will allow us to grow.
He’s like a walking headache. He’s probably triggering Michele Bachmann’s migraines.
The Gang of Six members themselves should have been given the stage to make their own announcement, and their own best case.
The president, if he is seriously trying to avert a debt crisis, should stay in his office, meet with members, and work the phones, all with a new humility, which would be well received. It is odd how he patronizes those with more experience and depth in national affairs.
He should keep his face off TV. He should encourage, cajole, work things through, be serious, get a responsible deal, and then re-emerge with joy and the look of a winner as he jointly announces it to the nation. Then his people should leak that he got what he wanted, the best possible deal, and the left has no idea the ruin he averted and the thanks they owe him.
For now, for his sake and the sake of an ultimate plan, he should choose Strategic Silence. Really, recent presidents forget to shut up. They lose sight of how grating they are.
